they're not that bad for what they are - a place to pass out for 5 hours before going out again. John and I stayed there earlier this winter (march?) for about $30/night. It wasn't classy like the Monte Carlo and it was old with super scratchy sheets, but it was clean and for $30 a night, you can't really complain!
Looks like it might be the Monte Carlo for me this year.....$62 a night....We'll see what email I get before then...There is always the Sahara and the ride on the rail....
i'm looking at Luxor, MGM, NYNY and Monte Carlo for decent rates.
